Well, it's not really the beach ball of death. It's just that the sync never finishes (OF is still functioning for the most part). If you look in the OF preferences, it shows the progress bar for the sync operation. It's almost to the end, but never gets there.

And the logic within OF is that if the sync isn't finished, it won't let you quit the program. Seems reasonable, except that the sync never completes. You're stuck with having to force quit the program.

And once you do it, it seems like your DB is toast. When you start OF up, it gets completely locked up (now there is your beach ball of death), and never starts. That seems to be a more secondary problem, however (i.e. if they fixed the initial problem, we'd never get this far).
